Hello All...
I have spent DAYS reading here and other places on the web looking for an easy 1step solution for my problem... I have installed S2P and it is great... I love to play the game "Anything your phone can do, mine can do better" to iphone people.. lol.. Anyways, here is my problem..
The S2P software was not displaying the album art so I couldn't do the cool flip throug hte CD thing... So in Monday I decided to try to fix that... I did some reading, and checked if my WIndows Media Player Mobile would display it.. it wasn;t either...
I WAS jsut dragging and dropping onto my SDHC memory card... Read that is the problem as I need to sync it using windows media player on my computer to get it to work... I tried that.. nothing.. I deleted the partnership and tried again.. Still nothing.. I erased the mediaplayer data file from the root directory.. tried again.. nothing nothing nothing..
I read about downloading the cover manually and inserting it as folder.jpg.. That worked perfect.. The problem with that is I have nearlt 50GB of music files.... And that would take forever... Isn;t there a way to just make the hidden album art visable so it goes when I drag and drop? I remember in the OLD days you could see the JPG files in the CD's folder... On my computer, the album art IS There as I can see the image when I use explorer or when I browse my library using MEdia Player... I tried the old trick of making the entire music folder and all sub-directories invisible and then visible to un-hide anything that was hidden, that didn;t work.. I also tried some programs such as AV Album Art Fixer (I just get an error when that program tries to load), MP3Tag and a few others... My problem is I am looking for something that I just point the program at my music folder, and it just either enables all existing album art to a visible copyable file, or something that will automaticall download/copy/whatever the images to the correct folders. Then when I copy them it will "just work"...
I don;t mean to sound lazy, but it is a big pain to have to manually click every album one at a time or to find them myself, download the image, rename it and copy it... Also, please don;t yell at me for not having found the answer myself in another forum or website as I really have been looking for days...
My phone is a HTC 8925 / AT&T Tilt.. But it is unlocked and I am using another carrier (I got Wifi access as well a slower wireless internet working on it). I also have the USB Sync with it as well...
My computer is a Core 2 Quad system running Vista Ultimate x64 edition.
Thank in advance for your help... I really appreciate it!
And on a side note.. a BONUS you could help with... when I scroll through the CD's I manually downloaded the art for.... it scrolls the "narrow" way... I would really prefer it to scroll sideways instead so the CD image is bigger... I tried "opening" the phone to change the rotation, but that didnt; work and seemed to cause problems... This is a minor thing but would be an added bonsu if you coudl help me with that as well... Again, Thank you so much for you help in advance...

hey guys, just a warning, dont install pocketdivx, its a piece of crap doest work, and then doesnt allow u to un-install it. i was able to find the pocketdivx files on my device, but theres still the shortcuts on the programs menu; how do i remove them?? thanks in advance. also, while we're on the topic, whats the best .divx player? i tried tcpmp, but its really choppy... thanks
omar
if you man the link, load up file explorer and go to
device\windows\start menu
you can delete from there.
got it, thanks
sooo, does anybody know a good divx player? or why does tcpm freeze every 2 seconds? thanks
have you tried playing with buffering in tcpmp?
Also, make sure that you have downsized the movies for PDA. there's a few freee and good programs out there that do this. The smaller, the better. A lot of data moves across that card
Yeah yeah I know, I must sound stupid. But for me its absolutely impossible to get touchflow to find my mp3's. I tried just about any folder but its just such a piece of **** player it just refuses to think like any other 25$ machine would do and it just does not want to look at any folder for its mp3's. Even if you put mp3's in the same folder as those mp3's that came with the machine it wont find them. Besides wondering how big of a idiot you have to be to make something disfunction like this (and even bigger to actually let the machine ship with this) how do I get this to work? If I go to the libary it will find my mp3's but there just isnt any way to get them to show up in the main screen. I managed once but I have no clue how I did it and I cant get it to work anymore at all.
And on a little side note, why are there so many duplicate folders? I must have found about half a dozen of my documents already...
update the library ?
Good question. Point is, I cant find a update button anywere. It says songs, albums, artists, songs you bought, genres etc but nowhere update.
Anyone has some tips? whatever I try, I just cant get it to display right away in the touchinterface. I have to go to libary first and even that works like cow**** because it is totally inlogical (some albums it sees 3 times for some weird reason) and now that I deleted everything is still displays everything (and ofcourse there aint no update or anything button and everytime it says cant find music. That why the hell display the albums that arnt even there anymore?)
The guy who made this should be hang by the nuts.
I'm using aruppenthals rom and would like ot get CV back on this device. There is a post on NAFT's thread (v3.2 ... 4 Flavors Total) where he says to go to post 4 and download the modified Opera.ini file, drop into Windows\Opera9 and install the cab file to make this feature work again. I can find neither file anywhaere. Can someone tell me where to find theese items and something a little more specific than 'somewhere in the 148 page thread.
you can use these two cabs and it should work again for you. one is the CV and the other is realplayer not to be confused with REALONE player. the actual controls will be a little garbled in the player since this was a cab Sakajati (chef) extracted for the tilt (qvga). vids play fine though.

All in one solution
Use the attached file, it an all in one solution. It will install Real Player and Cingular Video and it's much smaller footprint. Just remember to change your user agent to HTC-8900 with Advanced Config and to run the Hidden proxy.
only problem with that cab is it will keep asking you to save them to the device first. my cab will stream them, no need to save them.
I've tried both with no success. Either way Real palyer does not even open. The 'Streaming Media' player opens and then errors out saying something about not being able to. I'm guessing that it is not set to be the default player in this rom. I'm using rup's 3.3 .
First off you need to change the Opera.ini file. Its located (some ROM's may vary) in the "Windows" under the "Opera9" folder.
Lately there have been a lot of errors "File re-entry not allowed" with Streaming Media Player. I think it is a compatibility issue with the ROM's.
If you are getting this error there is no need to change it to Real Player if you don't want to. I am not going to take credit for this, just in finding it. I would give the page where I found it, but unfortunately I cant remember where. Below is a cab, install it to your device and it should play video again just fine. The only problem right now is the fact that the player doesn't match the screen size, but at least the videos play.
Both these files are in my CAB FILES BELOW on 4shared under AT&T Fuze, cab's, "fixes".

They won't work because streaming media player has registry settings to open when you click the button to stream the content. Most custom ROM's now come with it built in and make it uninstallable.
In order to change the "streaming content" to Real Player would require you to change those settings. Can be done, but without being able to delete the streaming media player, to me its just a waste of space.

So I'm resurrecting this thread because I'm sorta in the dark here. First off, it's taken me forever just to find a download of the AT&T CV cab file! (This is actually more about the blood feud between me and the XDA search engine. )
I seem to be missing something, though. Where do these two cabs, Opera.ini and Diamond Streaming Media, fit in the whole CV solution? Am I still supposed to install the 'ATT_Cellular_Video_v2.cab', but use this streaming media cab instead of the RealPlayer cab above? What if I already have streaming media installed? (Which I do. Using EnergyROM 3.0)
Also, for god only knows what reason, when I tried to start CV after installing the cab provided above, it started PIE, NOT Opera. And it said it couldn't find the "http://cingularvideo.cingular.com", which is what it defaulted to.
I've seen about a dozen postings about the Opera.ini file, but none of them tell you what to do after that! I suppose if you've gotten the "only on 3G" error, you're already far enough ahead of me to know that!
Anyway, If the CV app tries to get to a site that doesn't even exist, where do you go from there?!?
Hell, I don't even fully understand what the "CV" app itself does, if you can go through a browser and have some streaming video app installed, then what does this app do? Obviously, I've never even gotten that far!
BTW, I have tested to make sure my device it attached to the web. I can reach anywhere else. I'm also set up to use wap.cingular, and I have the hidden proxy installed.
Basically, I need help understanding which of the above installation files goes with which, and what the CV app is supposed to do when it starts, since I assume opening IE to go to an address it can't reach is not standard behavior!
Any help will be much appreciated! Thanks!
P.S. The Opera.ini cab above contains an "Opera.ini.txt" file. Shouldn't it just be Opera.ini?
Hi! I am new to this forums and i am new in windows mobile. Before i had a symbian phone so i was very familiar with symbian and now with windows mobile i am completly lost. I need help regarding avdio and video files. I have put a music files on a 8 gb card, i created folder MUSIC. Now if i want to play that files i have to use file explorer and search for that file and then play it. How can i acces it from built in avdio player? or how can i use it as a ring tone? I dont want to put it on phone memory so is it any way to play it from SD card? I also have a hard time installing anything, i dont know how. Does it ask you on which memory to put aplications on before installing? Symbian was so easy... But anyway i like this phone And one more thing, can i create folder and put games and other aplications, avdio/video files on just like in symbian?
Thanks for all your help, i know it is a long post, but i have many more questions for you

I had also multiple Symbian S60 phones but now i have my 4th Win Mobile device and i dont want to go back to Symbian, its to buggie and to slow (at least the last time i had one).
Even the desktop software from Nokia is very slow.
I will try to help you love your WM6.1 device!!
To play videofiles (I) use CorePlayer: http://coreplayer.com/
For converting your videos to play them on your TD2 (I) use PocketDivxEncoder: http://www.pocketdivxencoder.net/EN_index.htm
You can put audio and video files on your storagecard, Windows Media Player can search your device (through Library) and then you dont need to look them up throught File Explorer, WMP cannot play avi and divx, use CorePlayer.
With CorePlayer you can search your device, next time you want to open a new video or song it will open in the same location.
If you want the album cover to be displayed in Windows Media Player and/or the TouchFlo3d player, copy the cover (jpg) to the folder where the album is en rename it to folder.jpg (make it a square picture).
Every time you add new songs you will need WMP to search your device again otherwise you can only play then over File Explorer.
To use your audio files for ringtones you need to put them on your device in My Documents\My Ringtones\ or you need a registrysetting.
If you use the registry setting your media player wil also find all ringtones, maybe you like it, i don't.
But how can i install core player and other apps and games? Do i have to put files in specific folder or just on a sd card and then delete the files? and does it ask you where to install it? phone or sd? I am really completly lost it was really easy on symbian devices but on winmo it seems hard, but then again i might be wrong. I am waiting for a official 6.5 winmo from HTC, hope it arrives soon and i hope that app"s and games will be compatible with older winmo"s. Will you be able to create folders on winmo 6.5? For now i dont want to "pimp" my phone too much cause i will have to reinstall everything later, i just want to get familliar with installing games, apps, themes...
Does the phone alarm ring when the phone is off? It didn"t in the morning... Is there a setting to make it work?

It's easy as long as you know what to do!
When you download apps for your phone, they will usually in be a .cab file. You just copy this file to your SD card, then use the phones file explorer to find and click it.
It will then probably warn you about the app not being certified, it's up to you if you want to trust the source you downloaded from.
After that, you will be asked if you want to install on card or phone memory.
The original .cab file can be deleted from the SD card after the installation is complete.

Wrong topic, this one is about Audio and Video files as far as i have read.
But to answer your question, No, when the phone is off, it's off and it stays off until you turn it on.
Hello,
I'm not too sure if my problem is a unique one. I have searched the forums and most threads, if not all, that I managed to find dealt with trying to get album art to display on their HTC Diamonds. If you find that my problem has indeed been answered previously, I would very much appreciate a link to a thread where I may find my answer, thank you.
My problem here is slightly different: for a single mp3 file, the TF3D player displays a different cover from anywhere else (Windows Explorer, WMP, Winamp, mp3tag). Allow me to give some background info on this:
I have embedded my mp3s with their respective album arts. Every song displayed properly with its album art in the TF3D player previously, since the first day I bought my phone back in July 2009. However, recently (about a couple weeks ago) when I uploaded a Korean song, the entire library of album art has been wiped out in the TF3D player and all songs now display that album art of this Korean song.
Here is what I have done to troubleshoot:
1) I copied out all my mp3's to my laptop. In Windows Explorer, the original cover art is displayed. I opened the files with mp3tag in hope of retagging them, but I found the original cover art there too. I played the files in Winamp, and the cover art is correct as well.
2) I opened the files using File Explorer on my Diamond. It launched in WMP and the cover art was displayed properly there as well.
3) I deleted all the files on my Diamond and recopied just one single file (say, a Beyonce song) into the Diamond. It still displays with the Korean cover art.
4) I tried the solution of deleting the HTC folder under Application Data, while maintaining the Beyonce song as the only song in my phone. Cover art goes blank for a while while it loads... then back to Korean cover art.
5) I have flashed my ROM, did a clean format with MTTY. Still Korean cover art. If it helps, I am running the Gen.Y D2 R5.4 ROM which has HTC Sense 2.1.
From 1) and 2), it seems that the original cover art has not really been replaced by the Korean one, since the real one can still be displayed via other means.
And since cover arts have been displaying properly for the past half a year that I've been using my phone, I would say it should be safe to eliminate the possibility that I am embedding my tags wrongly.
So would anyone have any idea why this is happening, please?
Thank you for your time in reading my lengthy post!
Check your global file associations on your device for all mp3 or audio files using something like Schaps Advanced Config that will show those. It sounds like this cover art has been set as the default somehow.
I'm sorry -- what am I supposed to check using that? For my Diamond, the mp3 files have WMP as their default player.
By the way, if it helps, I am using the Gen.Y D2 R5.4 ROM which has HTC Sense 2.1.

If you run Adv. Config. click on the right softkey and select file associations and make sure your mp3s are associated with wmp or the player of your choice. See if there might be anything there that might give any insight as to why you are having this issue.
It could be a bug with the rom you are using. You could flash your stock rom at least twice then flash back to the custom rom of your choice.
The .mp3 extension is associated with WMP. I'm not too sure if file associations would cause this issue because I am opening the mp3's with the TF3D player... by doing so, I am already opening it from a specific player... it would not matter which program opens it "by default", would it?
Is formatting with MTTY equivalent to flashing the stock ROM? Because I've been flashing my ROM quite a few times over the past week and I don't want to flash anymore. =) But this problem came in before I started using the current ROM (I loaded the Korean song, messed up the stuff, and then flashed my ROM)...
Anyway, my deepest appreciation for your help so far mr.horndoctor! Thank you!

Yeah, I think you're right about the file associations. Sorry. Hmm...I honestly don't know about the mtty format since I am cdma but you've definitely got something embedded in your manila files causing this. That's why I was thinking flashing the shipped rom should overwrite everything. Then if you have all traces of that cover art gone from your music before you reinstall it to your device, it shouldn't resurface. I'm glad I'm not in your shoes! Good Luck Friend!!
